wine - Install Microsoft Office Pro 2010 on Ubuntu 13.04

I am trying to install Microsoft Office Pro 2010 on Ubuntu 13.04 using Wine. I have read several threads and everybody seems to be able to do this but me. So I am giving a shoutout for help. I tried the process taking screenshots of each step. I would post them but evidently I'm not popular enough to be allowed the luxuary of sharing my woes with my fellow Ubuntu-ers. Any suggestions on how to get Office up and running would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!



Here are the steps that I took (without screenshots):





  1. Downloaded the installer.


  2. Right click and click run with Wine Windows Program Loader


  3. Unpacking the files


  4. Entered the product key, it was validated, and clicked Continue


  5. Accept the licensing agreement,and click Continue


  6. Click Install Now


  7. Waiting...


  8. And boom, the error. It just says that the installer has encountered an error. It gives the same result every time.





Again, ANY help is greatly appreciated. THANKS!
